Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 860

Just like the phone call he picked up before, all the incoming calls were from Anson and his office.

When he frowned, the cell phone in his hand vibrated again with the same number on the screen, urging him to hurry up.

His mouth tightened into a thin line. He put the glass on the dining table and gazed at his lover who was sleeping soundly in the bedroom. The sun threw its warm light on her pink cheeks. After thinking for a few seconds, he finally went to the door.

Emily had slept for a long time. When she woke up, she was sweating all over.

She took out her hands beneath the quilt to cover her eyes. Looking out of the window, she found that it was brilliantly sunny. Presumably, it was midday.

When she put down her hand, what she touched was the closed book.

Remembering his low voice echoed in her ear before she fell asleep, she turned over and subconsciously looked for the man behind her, but soon she noticed that she was the only one on the big bed. The sheet next to her was cold.

He had gone anyway...

Since she woke up from a deep slumber, her spirits plummeted for no reason.

Her phone rang at this time, it was Tina calling. "Hello, Emily, how are you today? I'm interviewing somewhere at the riverside. I may see you at lunch break."

"I'm fine!" Emily said in a low voice.

She looked at the sheet beside her. In the morning, she planned to go out for a walk with him but was interrupted by his phone call.

She was very bitter and didn't want to stay at home. She pursed her lips and said to the phone, "Don't bother. Let's meet outside. Name a place, I'll come to get you!"

At the law firm.

In the office, Anson was sitting in front of the desk, and there were two chairs opposite him. One was sitting on the chair of Addy, and the other was Simon who just arrived.

Based on what they got at the last session, they were preparing to collect more substantial evidence for the next sitting of the court, so that they could win the case as soon as possible.

Sean firmly refused to divorce, and insisted that they still had feelings for each other. He denied the domestic violence and argued that he didn't mean to do it and it was unconscious conduct due to drunkenness. What was more, Addy had always chosen to forgive him, so she had never called the police. They had no firm evidence to support the case.

"You are newly married for about two months. It is relatively easy to deal with the divorce case purely caused by property division, but now we're facing a quite tricky situation. Mr. Jules's attitude is very clear. He doesn't want to divorce!"

Anson looked grim and slowly continued, "When trying cases involving domestic violence, the court may, based on such evidence as police records and injury identification opinions of public security organs, replace the facts of domestic violence. That is to say, domestic violence must be serious enough. According to law, in addition to your injuries, you have to prove that Sean did that more than three times a year by the evidence I mentioned, the irrefutable evidence!"

Addy couldn't help sighing and feeling regretful. "If I had known that this marriage was a mistake, I shouldn't have it any longer. I just felt guilty for Sean, so..."

In the past, she chose to put up with him, and even forgive.

Simon narrowed his eyes and said, "Except for the doctor's reports, we may collect some statements from your neighbors. Your neighbors definitely heard the noise when he got physical with you at home. What's more, remember last time in the underground parking lot beneath the shopping mall? Although Sean was crafty enough to duck out of security camera, someone had witnessed!"

If he remembered correctly, that night, two older cleaning staff were present.

If it weren't for their whispers, Simon wouldn't have suspected, and then found out that Addy was being beaten by Sean. It just happened several days ago. Although the underground parking lot was very dark, he had a mental image of what they two would look like.

The staff in the shopping mall were all on long-term contracts. As long as they found their manager, it would be easy to replace out the witnesses.

Simon continued, "If we replace them, they would be key evidence! Later on, I will contact with Women's International Democratic Federation, and when court meets again, we will win the case!"

Anson went out to instruct his subordinates to deal with some business matters, leaving only the two of them in the office.

Addy looked at him with amorous eyes and stumbled. "Simon, thank you. To be honest, you have done so much for me, which I feel is more than I was entitled to! If you are busy, you don't have to worry about me. I can handle it alone!"

"Addy." Simon replied in a low, gloomy voice, "You know that I can't just stand by. You're my friend. I should be responsible for this?"

Addy folded her hands on her knees and knew why he said so. Mixed emotions were pressing in on her.

His phone suddenly vibrated at this time, and he took it out from his trouser pocket.

Tina?

Seeing the caller ID on the screen, a trace of surprise flashed in Simon's eyes for he didn't know why she called him.

He glanced at Anson, who was pushing the door and walking in, and signaled to both of them.

"Wait a minute, I'm getting a call!"

As it connected, Simon placed it beside his ear. He only heard Tina's anxious voice. "Dr. Chin, something is up. Emily just fainted-"

His expression suddenly changed.

After leaving the law firm, he drove to the private hospital with the law hot on his heels.

After going through several red lights continuously along the way, he finally arrived at the emergency room. Tina was anxiously waiting outside the ward.

Simon rushed up and asked with a metallic taste at the back of his throat, "Tina, what happened?"

Usually, Tina would be shy when she was called like this. But at this time, she didn't notice it and explained, "I don't know. I called her at noon and when I interviewed somewhere nearby your house. I'm worried for her, so I told her I would look her up!"

"But Emily said to meet outside. So we had lunch together. She didn't eat much. Then we went to the nearby mall. But she went to the bathroom and didn't come out. When I came in to replace her, she already fainted on the toilet. Yesterday she bled. And today... the results of medical tests hadn't come out yet. I still don't know how's her condition now!"

Tina finished speaking in one breath. Her face was filled with worry.

However, seeing that Simon, as a doctor, was more anxious and flustered than she was. Tina who had the same experience, quickly comforted, "Dr. Chin, don't worry. She will be fine. It's just she's not awake yet!"
